My Hubby loves to eat raw green Mango. He usually eat them with "cacah belacan"~ shrimp paste with chili and soy sauce. On Saturday last week, I bought a kilo of these for him thinking that the course in Penang was cancelled. Some how at 6.00 p.m. that Saturday he received a call to collect his tickets at the ministry. Some of the mangoes are still in my fruit compartment in the fridge, so today I decided to make green mango salad. I ate this alone because my kids do not like the taste of raw mango. At times like this, how I wish my hubby is here to enjoy the salad with me.
At a different note, Raw green mango salad is of Indo-china origin @ Thailand or Vietnamese. It's a very simple recipe....and since the mango are in season do try this at home.
Ingredients: serves 1
-1 raw green mango- Peel mangoes, then cut away chunks of fruit from pits then, cut into thin strips. I "chancang" the mango in my hand :)
- 1/2 carrot-grated
- 1 sprig-coriander leaves-chopped
- 1 shallot-sliced
- 1 garlic-chopped
- 1 medium fresh chili-sliced~ you might want to add Thai bird's eye chili for extra zing
- spring onion -sliced
seasoning:
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Fish sauce
- brown sugar
Steps:
-Place carrot, mango, coriander, spring onion, garlic, fresh chili and shallots into a large bowl.
- Add the seasoning 5-10 minutes before serving.
note: you can also sprinkle chopped toasted peanut on your salad
